Comment on Youth is Wasted on the Young by Steve Olson

Thanks for the link. We need to rethink the way we view crime and punishment. In our penal system there are very different groups of people all locked up in the same hellish places. There are cold calculated violent sociopaths, drunks and drug addicts, and kids who made foolish mistakes all in the same prison dorm. It is a huge mistake to lump them together. Lumping them together creates even more sociopaths. I once read that more people convicted of DUI commit suicide in jail than the total amount of DUI related auto fatalities in the US (sorry can’t recall the source). But if that is in fact true, then we have truly lost our way…
